Macron and May sign treaty to deal with migrants in Calais (WATCH)
British PM Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron have signed a treaty that will see the UK increase funding for security measures along France’s border.
After the pair negotiated foreign policy measures during a summit at the Sandhurst military base in England, a British official announced that the UK government will provide a further £44.5 million to help bolster border controls between the two nations. The extra funding will reportedly go towards CCTV and fencing on the French side.
Speaking at the UK-France Summit, May said Brexit would not impact negatively on the relationship between France and Britain. “We will be looking for a deep and special partnership for the future,” she told the media.
Both France and the UK remain committed to defending our people and upholding our values as liberal democracies in the face of any threat - whether at home or abroad #UKFRSummit
